1 After the Sabbath, and towards dawn on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala and the other Marywent to visit the sepulchre.	1 And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalen and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre.
2 And suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, cameand rol ed away the stone and sat on it.	2 And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
3 His face was like lightning, his robe white as snow.	3 And his countenance was as lightning, and his raiment as snow.
4 The guards were so shaken by fear of him that they were like dead men.	4 And for fear of him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men.
5 But the angel spoke; and he said to the women, 'There is no need for you to be afraid. I know you arelooking for Jesus, who was crucified.	5 And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said he would. Come and see the place where he lay,	6 He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid.
7 then go quickly and tel his disciples, "He has risen from the dead and now he is going ahead of you toGalilee; that is where you wil see him." Look! I have told you.'	7 And going quickly, tell ye his disciples that he is risen: and behold he will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see him. Lo, I have foretold it to you.
8 Fil ed with awe and great joy the women came quickly away from the tomb and ran to tel his disciples.	8 And they went out quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy, running to tell his disciples.
9 And suddenly, coming to meet them, was Jesus. 'Greetings,' he said. And the women came up to himand, clasping his feet, they did him homage.	9 And behold Jesus met them, saying: All hail. But they came up and took hold of his feet, and adored him.
10 Then Jesus said to them, 'Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers that they must leave for Galilee;there they wil see me.'	10 Then Jesus said to them: Fear not. Go, tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, there they shall see me.
11 Now while they were on their way, some of the guards went off into the city to tell the chief priests althat had happened.	11 Who when they were departed, behold some of the guards came into the city, and told the chief priests all things that had been done.
12 These held a meeting with the elders and, after some discussion, handed a considerable sum ofmoney to the soldiers	12 And they being assembled together with the ancients, taking counsel, gave a great sum of money to the soldiers,
13 with these instructions, 'This is what you must say, "His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep."	13 Saying: Say you, His disciples came by night, and stole him away when we were asleep.
14 And should the governor come to hear of this, we undertake to put things right with him ourselvesand to see that you do not get into trouble.'	14 And if the governor shall hear this, we will persuade him, and secure you.
15 So they took the money and carried out their instructions, and to this day that is the story among theJews.	15 So they taking the money, did as they were taught: and this word was spread abroad among the Jews even unto this day.
16 Meanwhile the eleven disciples set out for Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had arranged tomeet them.	16 And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 When they saw him they fell down before him, though some hesitated.	17 And seeing them they adored: but some doubted.
18 Jesus came up and spoke to them. He said, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given tome.	18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go, therefore, make disciples of al nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Sonand of the Holy Spirit,	19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
20 and teach them to observe al the commands I gave you. And look, I am with you always; yes, to theend of time.'	20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
